Q. Xavier loves to make waffles for breakfast. Normally, it takes him 9 minutes to make 3 waffles. He had some friends sleep over last night, and he wants to make 10 waffles this morning.If the waffles cook at the same rate, how many minutes will it take Xavier to make the waffles this morning?___ minutes
Calculate Waffle Rate: Calculate the rate at which Xavier makes waffles. He makes 3 waffles in 9 minutes, so the rate is 3 waffles per 9 minutes.
Determine Time per Waffle: Determine the time it takes to make one waffle. Divide the total time by the number of waffles: 9 minutes / 3 waffles = 3 minutes per waffle.
Calculate Total Time for 10 Waffles: Calculate the total time needed to make 10 waffles. Multiply the time per waffle by the number of waffles: 3minutes/waffle×10waffles=30minutes.
